>> good morning, cleveland. maybe i'll go to cleveland tomorrow and show up and knock on someone's door. >> clean your kitchen, cleveland. he might be coming to you. >> i will wind up at somebody's front door tomorrow. >> shower, he could be there. >> bill: president biden getting ready to address the u.n. when putin made a speech that amounts to a major escalation of war in ukraine. he says he is not bluffing on the possibility of nuclear weapons. this as moscow calls up as many as 300,000 reservists. president biden speaks later this morning. we'll get reaction on that from john kirby momentarily. first there is more bedlam at the border. we learned in the month of august alone, border patrol stopped a dozen suspected terrorists from entering the country which cranks up the

number for those who have been caught trying to get in. how many gotaway is a good question. big show today. >> dana: it is. i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." border agents have arrested 78 suspected terrorists this year alone. that is three times as many as the past five years combined. >> bill: the surge of illegals putting a strain on border towns. texas continues to bus migrants to sanctuary city. democrat henry cuellar in a tough reelection fight at the border admits the tactic has been effective. >> nobody was listening to the border communities for years. now that it is happening in their own backyard they're talking about it. once we finish the fiscal year we have to talk about somewhere between 4.5 to 4.9 million individuals that have come across the border. if you call that a secure border, i don't know what it is. >> dana: team fox coverage with reaction from senator marco rubio.

let's begin with alexis mcadams live from eagle pass, texas. good morning. >> good morning. every day we see thousands of migrants crossing here in eagle pass, texas. now we standing at the epicenter now the busiest air area for border crossings in texas. this is why. take a live look now. we have a camera here in eagle pass, texas. caught up a short time ago with the latest large group coming in this morning. you are looking at 200 migrants and counting now being processed by border patrol agents in texas. sources tell fox new for the first time ever the del rio sector, that includes eagle pass, texas, is the busiest border crossing in texas. as of last week cbp sources say the del rio sector and the rio grande valley in the southern part of texas had just over 461,000. these are massive numbers that we're talking about.

also the fox drone team shows this large group here that you are looking at of 150 migrants that crossed the border just yesterday morning. it is hot here and the crisis shows no sign of slowing down. the group is wading through the water and walking into the streets of eagle pass, texas. not just people crossing on foot, rivers and land in texas, smugglers are also out in full force on highways. this video from texas department of public safety shows a traffic stop that led to the arrest of the driver and a dozen migrants. the driver told police he was moving freight pallets in del rio. when he opened the back of the truck he was arrested. watch. >> oh man, no good. put your hands behind your back for me. >> this happens daily as well with the smugglers across the highways and you see heavy patrols from the city and the

state as well. they're inundated that they can barely take care of their own residents in these communities. agents say it's difficult to know who these people are in the first place. agents arrested a mexican citizen convicted of third degree sex assault in connecticut just this week. this is the man. he was deported in 2015 after his arrest for the third degree sexual assault case in connecticut but spotted and ab rehended in the last week. back here live we can tell you 78 suspected terrorists have been caught trying to cross the border just this fiscal year in texas. people who live here, the main question they have is when will the president come to eagle pass, texas, now the epicenter and seeing people cross every day. >> dana: thank you for being there for us this morning. >> bill: with us from the hill is senator markio rubio. thank you for your time. want to get to the class action lawsuit.

your response to how they are trying to deal with governor desantis in a legal sense. >> think about this. people came into this country illegally violating our laws. the first thing they do is get lawyers and use our laws to sue an elected governor and state. think about that. they just got here and not here legally. didn't enter the country the proper way and they demand rights and claims under our laws. in is outrageous. what other country in the world would even tolerate that? i think this is -- this is not immigration what we're seeing. this is mass migration. a very different thing. but to think about the fact that somebody just came here illegally and within a week they are in court and have lawyers representing them in court suing the american government whose laws they just violated? it's unbelievable. it is outrageous. it angers me and should anger everybody. >> dana: president biden got one question on this. let's watch here. >> why is the border more open under your watch?

>> there are fewer immigrants coming from central america and from mexico. it is a totally different circumstance. what's on my watch now is venezuela, cuba, and nicaragua. and the ability to send them back to those states is not rational. >> dana: could you speak to that, sir? >> there is no doubt those are communist countries. i'm glad he finally recognizes that and people in his administration and the president he served under tried the argue they weren't that bad anymore and tried to get closer to them. venezuela see the one sending people to meet with maduro and try to buy oil from the guy. it's from all over the world. there are literally people from over 100 different countries crossing the border. it is an industry. there are flights from turkey bringing people from turkey and the middle east into mexico and

cancun and crossing the border. it is out of control and the hypocrisy of all these communities that say we welcome immigrants and want them here. within 24 hours martha's vineyard had deported the immigrants to cape code. >> bill: we have spent billions over the past 20 years trying to make sure a terrorist doesn't get on an airplane yet we found out in the month of august alone, 12 arrests were made on the f.b.i. terrorist watch list which brings the total to 78 suspected terrorists arrested so far this year. that's three times the number of the last five years put together. i will remind you, as if you need to know this, that only 19 hijackers pulled off 9/11. >> the problem is those are the ones we know about. most people crossing the border have all been coached. this is an industry. they coach you up. these are the magic words you have to say, turn yourself into a border agent and say the magic words and you will be released with a fake address. no one is talking about that.

dhs -- they don't have an address, they give them a fake address in the united states. people are turning themselves in. if you know you are a terrorist you aren't turning yourself in. of the 78 is but a small sliver of what we suspect is a much broader group of people linked to terrorism and terrorist groups in our hemisphere. two communist terrorist organizations from columbia and -- i think it's the single largest group of terrorists apprehended and sent here. we don't know and need to look into. reports on this. is venezuela deliberately sending people here that they believe will cause harm within the united states? we don't know the answer to that. there is suspicion that might be the case. none of it will be answered by this administration. they don't care. they really literally do not care. >> dana: thank you, we appreciate your time this morning. we will hear from the president at the u.n. later. i'm sure he will have thoughts

on that. thank you. >> bill: thank you, senator. >> thank you. >> dana: federal, state and local workers who were fired or punished after refusing to comply with covid vaccine mandates still fighting to get their jobs back as president biden declares the pandemic is over. what happens to these folks now, griff? >> good morning, dana. it is unclear how many americans' jobs have been impacted as a result of the vaccine mandates. the number in the thousands. even before the president's declaration on sunday, this 9/11 new york city firefighters testimony was getting quite a lot of attention. watch. >> i was allowed to work through the pandemic but not allowed to eat in a restaurant. i could wear the uniform, go to a burning building, what's wrong with you people? >> since biden's comments public servants from coast to coast suffering enormously from state and local mandates.

l.a., a firefighter has gone nearly a year without a paycheck after being put on leave without pay for refusing the shot. new york city cutler was denied a religious exception despite being a deacon in his church. >> mr. president, if you would please listen to my story. please think about all my fellow brothers and sisters who are in new york city or other areas who have been affected by those who won't let this mandate go. please put them back to work. >> this is much bigger than my paycheck and much bigger than a pension. this is for the freedom and sovereignty of the citizens of this country. >> you know, at the federal level biden's executive mandate is tied up in a lawsuit in the fifth circuit court of appeals leading the charge against him a group of more than 8,000 federal employees. >> i have received multiple awards for my work fighting for and defending human rights, fighting for and defending

religious freedoms and now over the past year the government has threatened me with termination, excluded me from the workforce, discriminated against me, and subjected me to harassment for standing up for those very principles. >> meanwhile work city dropped their vaccine mandate on private employers yesterday but not for city workers. dana. >> dana: thank you so much, griff. for that. there is another thing that's happening on this as it continues. a bill in california on the desk of the governor now basically says california has advanced medical misinformation bill. it says if are you a doctor or health practitioner and if the state determines that you have spread misinformation about covid, then you would lose your medical license. >> bill: imagine the middle of the pandemic when the information was changing constantly. people had different opinions. are you going to prosecute the ones you disagree with? >> dana: deprive people of their livelihood?

that's on the governor's desk now and see if he actually since it. there is also this. >> if you don't live in pennsylvania how can you fight for pennsylvania? i would have that 51st vote. >> bill: that's john fetterman a new strategy. what it means for a race take may decide control of the u.s. senate. >> dana: we're awaiting president biden's address at the u.n. russia and china looming large. admiral john kirby is here on set on that. >> bill: markets are bracing for another big federal rate hike. how high will they go? how many will it take to turn the tide on inflation? the question on the minds of everyone. i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhh - here, i'll take that woo hoo ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar

>> bill: president biden will be at the united nations. tensions simmer on the world stage. major headlines out of vladimir putin in moscow. mobileizing more troops, threatening to use possibly the use of nuclear weapons in ukraine. a lot to talk about. national security council spokesman john kirby is with us in new york. first to jacqui heinrich across town on the east river at the united nations. good morning. >> it is not the first time vladimir putin has ratcheted up the nuclear rhetoric. as world leaders converge this is widely seen as an effort to get them to blink over support for ukraine. the white house has framed this escalation as a desperate move from a leader not confident. there have been pro-kremlin voices ratcheting up urgings for use a tactical nuclear weapons especially after a

successful ukrainian counter offensive gained steam last week. >> those who like to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know the winds can blow in their direction. >> it is the first time since world war ii russia called up reservists, 300,000 troops one way flights. putin accused the west of nuclear blackmail. follows russia's efforts to formally annex a fifth of ukraine. putin a more expansive definition of territory he could claim to be protecting and seen as an answer to president biden's warning over the weekend not to use chemical or nuclear weapons. >> president biden: i'm not going to tell you. it will be -- depending on the extent what we do depends on

what response. >> one problem is how to punish russia a permanent member of the u.n. security kouns ilg carrying out the invasion that defies the charter's principles. they have veto power so removing russia is nearly impossible. >> needs to do some soul searching as an institution and an organization, the security council as we know it needs to be reformed. we need to focus more attention on human rights. >> the white house says the president will speak substantively to this question but it might happen in private with u.n. secretary general and other world leaders. president is also expected to address iran's nuclear agenda and chinese aggression toward taiwan. >> bill: thank you for that. >> dana: let's bring in john kirby, streej i can communications at the national security council. what will president biden say today so the american people can know what he is thinking?

>> i think you'll hear from the president a full throated defense the united states is doing to support ukraine over going on seven months of war to include the security assistance we're providing and other financial aid. the way the united states has marshaled the rest of the west and countries around the world to do the same. i think he will be firm where we stand on ukraine and their territorial integrity and sovereignty and how important it is to push for that. >> bill: are we effectively at war with russia? >> not at all. no, we are not. russia is at war inside ukraine. despite the rhetoric we heard from putin trying to make it about the west versus russia or the united states versus russia ornate owe versus russia, nothing can be farther from the truth. ukraine is fighting to defend their country. >> bill: you could argue the weapons we have provided lately, the rockets which are high mobility rockets that travel 50 miles in the air have

turned the tide of this war in favor of the ukrainians. they are now able to hit ammo deep owes in crimea that they could never get close to before. >> the systems that we provided have definitely helped. you mention the high mobility artillery rocket systems. ukraine is using them to great success on the battlefield right now. they are particularly well suited to the donbas in the south. what has turned the tide here, if the tide has turned. there is momentum on the ukrainian side, no question. is the ukrainian armed forces, the soldiers, troops, ukrainian people who refused to give up. they're using these systems very effectively. they have good command and control. good organizational structure. they're smart how they are integrating their military capabilities. they deserve that credit. >> dana: what about that putin seems like he is cornered or put into a corner. he does not have the support of

president xi of china any longer on this particular issue nor the prime minister of india. they both told him last week back off. and now you have people inside his own government saying you aren't doing good enough. does the cornered putin not bluff when he talks about nuclear weapons. >> you're right. he is definitely under more pressure now internally and externally. it is increasingly clear mr. putin is not doing well in ukraine. what else to call up a mobilization of 300,000 troops? why else would you speedily rush these sham referenda in the donbas and south to politically gain legitimacy over territory you don't have military control over. we think he is feeling the pressure. we have been mindful from the very beginning, dana, about the risks of escalation and said from the beginning and you would see the rhetoric last

night is consistent with this from him. it is irresponsible for a nuclear power to speak that way about the possible use of any weapons of mass destruction. >> bill: last question. seven months into the war you just mentioned. what is the goal of the united states? is it our goal to defeat russia? >> hour goal has been clear and sis tent from the beginning. we want to see ukraine succeed on the battlefield so they can succeed at the negotiating table. as the president said we'll be at that for as long as it takes. >> bill: they can't do this. they can't be where they are without us. >> they have gotten a lot of support not just from the united states but 40 some odd other countries. they have gotten a lot of support. those same countries, including president biden and the united states have committed to continue to help them for as long as it takes and very appreciative for the support they're getting from outside ukraine. they know how critical it has been. we can't forget the skill,

bravery and capability they are bringing to their own defense now. >> dana: talk about taiwan. president biden said we would defend. jake sullivan said this yesterday. take a look. >> someone said specifically to him have you just announced a major policy change? he said no, i have not. i've answered a hypothetical question. when the president of the united states wants to announce a policy change he will do so and hasn't done so. >> dana: couldn't your policy be the same if it's a hypothetical question or not? >> we've been nothing but consistent. the president was answering a hypothetical question about the defense of taiwan and he answered it in that context. but he also has been very clear in the past when he has answered similar questions similar ways that nothing has changed about our one china policy or our policy with respect to taiwan and look, broadly speaking and stepping back we take very seriously. we just announced over a billion dollars of arm sales to taiwan a couple of weeks ago.

we take very seriously our commitment under the taiwan relations act to make sure taiwan can defend itself. >> bill: i looked at the transcript. it didn't look like a hypothetical. he said what should chinese president xi know about your commitment to taiwan. i think the reason why the question keeps coming up president biden referred to it how many times, four times now, right? four times total and the white house has had to clean this up. could there be a strategic ambiguity to his answer to keep president xi off balance? would you accept that argument? >> i would just tell you nothing has changed about our approach to taiwan. nothing has changed about our desire to make sure taiwan can defend itself and nothing has changed. this is something that jake said the other day, nothing has changed about the fact we don't want to see the status quo change certainly not by use of

force. >> dana: i could talk to you for another half hour so you could get to the president's speech. thank you for coming by. >> bill: one hour from now the president's speech. 26 past. puerto rico is reeling. this is hurricane fiona. it left a trail of destruction. electricity is out for 80% of the people there. an all-out political battle in a colorado swing state. republicans looking to make a new house seat red. is the tide shifting their way? we'll talk to those running for it. with prices going up and up, it's more important than ever to have extra cash in the bank. and for veteran homeowners, it's as easy as one, two, three.

>> bill: markets are open. watch the opening bell. the fed has a massive day and will make a major headline this afternoon. no matter what decision it makes on interest rates, is it a half point, is it 3/4 point? will it blow the markets out of the water with a full point

move to try and get inflation under control? that's what investors are hanging up to. up at at the open 155 points. we await 2:00 p.m. eastern today. >> dana: what can we expect from the fed this afternoon, edward? >> here is what we know now. the construction vacuum truck is back right next to me. we also know interest rates on credit cards will go up. adjustable rate mortgages will be adjusted up. the cost of a new loan for a house or car will go up. at the last federal reserve meeting in jackson hole last month the chairman warned americans what to expect. it is important to hear his words. license. >> while higher interest rates, slower growth and softer labor market conditions will bring down inflation, they will also bring some pain to households and businesses. these are the unfortunate costs of reducing inflation. >> so the last fed chairman to make that kind of warning for

americans paul volker in 1979 before aggressive rate hikes. 82% of the market believes there will be 3/4 of a percentage point rate hike. 18% of the market now believes the rate hike will be a full percent. there has never been a time under this monetary framework today where the fed hiked three meetings in a row 3/4 percent or more. that's what we're looking at today. >> time goes on and the more they hike the odds of a soft landing get really, really poor. so he is in a pandora's box now. >> bill: they say inflation has been boosted by government spending. the fed being more aggressive now because of that government spending that has been passed over the past 20 monthsment back to you. >> dana: all eyes on the fed at 2:00. >> bill: as the mid-terms draw closer now one of the more intriguing races may decide control of congress. you'll find it in colorado. the newly redrawn eighth

district is leaning republican. can republicans win this open seat? the republican who wants the job is barbara kirk meyer and with us now. we took note of how many hispanics live in your district. what is your direct appeal to them to win this seat on november 8th? >> first of all, thank you for having me on this morning and good morning to you, america. my appeal is the same with anyone in the district. the issues are the same regardless of which door i go to. it is about the inflation, the cost of living, now energy dependent instead of energy independent. we need to secure our border. we have a fentanyl crisis in this state. the list goes on and on. >> dana: i want to look at the map here. when i worked on capitol hill there were only six congressional districts in colorado, now eight. you can see it there. the result of the 2020

election, if this district had been around would have been 50 to 46 biden to trump. the fundraising is interesting. your opponent has raised 1.1 million dollars. you are at $393,000 and yet everything that we looked at today had the race as a toss-up or even lean republican. how are you making the difference up? >> that's correct. first of all i think everyone can agree that joe biden has done a dismal job and we're in a tailspin right now and it is affecting my district dramatically. folks are talking about inflation. you just heard on your previous report how interest rates will go up. in colorado, our inflation rate is the number one in the nation. so basically what that means to folks in my district is that they're spending $11,000 more this year than they were in 2020 on things like gas, on housing, on food, on clothing, on transportation, on energy.

and again, it just keeps happening. when i go to the door and talk to folks, they are talking about inflation. they are talking about the cost of living. they are worried about their jobs. now they are worried about the 401k. it just keeps building up. we're in a tailspin. also the other thing is my opponent, along with joe biden, because they are both in this together, have done everything they can to kill the fossil fuel industry. this district sits on top of one of the oil and gas. we've lost thousands of jobs thanks to my opponent and joe biden. so no longer are we energy independent. in fact, our president is sitting there dipping into the strategic reserve. you are only supposed to do that in a national emergency. we must be in an national emergency and crisis that he has to dip into the strategic reserve. >> your opponent would be the first colorado latino to go to

congress if she defeats you. come back to the hispanic issue. 35.5% of the people who vote and live there are hispanic. how much is the border and how much is illegal immigration an issue for them? >> the illegal immigration isn't so much an issue as is the securing the border. quite frankly that has to do with joe biden's open border policy that has created every state becoming a border state and it is the flow of fentanyl and drugs coming across that border that is impacting colorado as well. in our state and again my opponent voted for a bill that essentially legalized fentanyl, created -- it went from a felony down to a misdemeanor. you could possess four grams. we have a 342% increase in fentanyl overdose, over 1100 people have died from fentanyl overdose in colorado. that's what people are concerned about.

that and just the public safety issue that the occurring here in colorado with the crime rates. we're at a 25-year high. again when i'm walking and talking with folks in the neighborhood, they are telling me they don't feel it's safe for their kids to walk home from school anymore. you can't walk without hearing from someone who had their car stolen or knows someone who had their car stolen. we're number one in car thefts in the nation. it's those issues that regardless hispanic, non-hispanic, it's what everybody is talking about. >> bill: it's a strong message and invite your opponent to join us any time as well to continue this discussion. >> dana: thank you, barb. >> bill: thank you. >> dana: take care. >> dana reads sports. >> dana: aaron judge of the new york yankees hit his 60th home run of the season last night. watch this. >> three infielders for judge. the 3-1. deep to left field, there it

goes, number 60, slide over, babe, you've got some company! >> dana: judge is the sixth player and third yankee to hit 60 or more home runs in a single season. many consider it roger maris who hit 61 home runs. >> bill: 1961. >> dana: experts say the record breaking ball could be worth up to how much? >> bill: i did not look but read it earlier to be $10 million. i think it will go for more. yeah, for sure. he thinks the record is 73. >> dana: judge does? >> bill: judge does. that's what he is gunning for, right? he has 2 1/2 weeks to do it. >> dana: why? >> bill: during the steroid era it was barry bonds, mark mcgwire and sammy sosa went past the record. there is an asterisk by that.

>> dana: i remember that. >> bill: you and i we look at different cameras. we'll get it together. a viral cooking video comes with a side of warning, wow from the fda. why the agency says leave out the secret sauce. plus new orleans has more murders than any other city in the nation. tyrus is coming up next and he lives in new orleans and he is not proud of that. more sharpness. the recall mechanism is a lot more concise. i've been taking prevagen for almost 10 years. it's wonderful. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks. u rise to the challenge.

>> five years removed from hurricane maria puerto rico hash slammed again. power outages. hurricane fiona crashing on shore. cleanup will be significant. we're live on the ground with the closer look what they're dealing with now.

good morning there. >> good morning, bill and dana. unfortunately temperatures are rising here on the island of puerto rico. heat advisory issued for portions of the island. still as of this morning more than 80% of the island is without power. more than 600,000 without running water. the challenges here will only continue to worsen as we expect this to persist for the next several days here. you can see behind me there are still some still waiting for floodwaters to recede. let me step out of the way to give you a better look at unfortunately this neighborhood here, one of the four neighborhoods in puerto rico but one of the hardest impacted. you can see here several inches of water still sitting in this driveway. at this point it's mostly sewage. really this is just one of the many challenges people are dealing with. there are some still trapped inside their homes unable to access resources, food,

gasoline to power those backup generators if they're fortunate enough to have them. here is some video what the community looked like just yesterday. several feet of water that turned these roads into rivers, destroyed many. fiona packing a punch on the island and only as a category one storm. we know it has continued to strengthen. now shelter in place orders in places like turks and caicos and we expect it to continue to strengthen heading towards bermuda. >> bill: good to have you down there. fox weather in puerto rico. >> dana: new orleans now the murder capital of america with 41 people killed there per 100,000. that's an alarming spike of more than 140% since 2019. fox nation host tyrus has made his home there and here now with reaction. this has been pretty incredible. call for number one, shootings

up 100%, carjackings up 210% and armed robberies up. i read that and was shocked how bad it is. >> you don't need a litmus test to realize what the problem is. police force is depleted, disrespected, constantly being victimized and attack trying to do a simple arrest. if it goes south if someone is aggressive we've emboldened the worst part of our society. i've been proud to call louisiana home for the last eight years and it breaks my heart. it is such an easy fix. we need to support law enforcement and we need to give them raises and dignity and respect and get more men and women in blue back in our city. >> bill: two quotes that still out from the police superintendent. the criminals are bolder and more brazen. they don't believe they'll face any consequences for their actions. we've heard that everywhere. >> that's exactly what it is. to break it down, the dinner bell has been rung. police officers are now the bad

guys. and the prosecutors are now your friend. so why not? what's the worst that will happen? even if you get arrested they talk trash while they're in the back seat. i'll be out in three hours. >> bill: like the guy with the hatchet over the weekend. >> police officers are still -- if they have to arrest the guy five times they do it. the problem is it's taking on average someone calls 911, 2 1/2 hour response not because the police department is lazy, stubborn or sitting in their car with arms crossed. they are that overworked and can't be there. it goes back to we need to do something for our police officers. >> dana: that would probably come from elected leader mayor cantrell. she is in a bit of hot water. she has been flying around and going first class and everything said anyone who wants to question how i protect myself doesn't understand the world black women live in. since january 2021 -- walk in.

she has charged the city of new orleans $29,000 travel business class. that is not allowed. >> that's ridiculous. what does first class have to do with the color of your skin? you would usually be safer in the back of the plane. this is the thing. i had the privilege to meet her when i was given the key to the city by her and again, she was in the -- the people showed up, weather was cold. this is what's wrong with politics. she is willing to spend the taxpayer's money on first class tickets but even that $29,000 divided up would have been nice going into police officers pockets. the ops of it. jamie foxx was there and surrounded by people who had champagne flutes and all that cool stuff but the people of new orleans are suffering and it goes back to our police department. we need someone to step up. a lot of people are moving.

it breaks my heart that i'm marinating over it. i'm lucky. i live in mandeville. we have our own police force and they're phenomenal. in our city we respect our police officers and what's going on in new orleans is just rough. it is the flash point of louisiana. people come from all over the world to see new orleans, our history, our arts, music, culture. that's another reason why it's disrespectful as a black woman saying she has to have certain security. i understand if you want extra bodyguards but has nothing to do with first class. >> bill: we talked a lot about new york, chicago, portland and los angeles. new orleans needs to be on the radar also. we're awaiting president biden's speech to the u.n. what will he say about ukraine and russia? imagine or headlines in a moment here. it is tea time on capitol hill.

golf world and picked up players from the pga tour. where the money comes from to pay for the prize purse critics say is scandalous funded by saudi arabia's sovereign wealth fund. liv has brought some of the greats to their tour. but they are all now banned from playing in the pga tour after the pga decided to black list players that defected to liv. d.o.j. is investigating the pga tour for potential antitrust violations because of that behavior. and liv has joined a federal antitrust lawsuit filed by golfers who say their careers are hurt by the pga tour banning them from competing in both tours. liv is not just getting the stink eye from pga or pro-golfers but even broadcast networks who have yet to nail down someone to broadcast tournaments, even streaming

services like apple and amazon turned down the chance to be their media partners. so it seems like today greg norman's visit is trying to put a pretty pros face on the liv tour. a big p.r. push among lawmakers. >> bill: see how it goes. hillary vaughn. >> dana: fox news alert the grim warning from putin as global leaders gather at the united nations are president biden is set to speak later this hour. he raises the threat as he calls up hundreds of thousands of troops and saying his warning of using force is not a bluff. i'm dana perino. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer. putin's announcement coming with the u.n. general assembly, where the u.n. secretary general says the world is in big trouble. putin clearly stating
